Amazon Unveils 5 Tablets, 2 of Which Create Illustrated Stories With AI
Alongside its new Android tablets, Amazon has also launched “Amazon Kids Tablet” models for children. The tablets provide full access to the “Google Play Store,” but parents can restrict app and content choices. The models have 8.7-inch and 11-inch screens. Both have aluminum bodies and are powered by 8-core processors.
The 8.7-inch “Amazon Kids Tablet 8” starts at $229.99 (approximately 390 manat). The model has 64 GB of internal storage and supports up to 14 hours of video playback on a single charge. The 11-inch “Amazon Kids Tablet 11” will sell for $329.99 (approximately 560 manat). It has a 2.5K display and 8 GB of RAM. The tablet supports a stylus and provides up to 15 hours of video playback. Amazon has developed 2 different protective cases for the tablets. A thick, soft case with a handle has been designed for children ages 3 and older. For children ages 6 and older, there is a thin, rigid case with a stand. The cases feature images of characters from “Paw Patrol,” “Barbie” and “SpongeBob.” The “Dynamic Tab” section recommends content appropriate for the child’s age. The tablets include a 1-year “Amazon Kids+” subscription. The service brings together ad-free books, videos, games, apps and audiobooks from companies such as “Disney,” “Nickelodeon” and “Lego.” The “Storybuilder” feature uses AI to create illustrated stories and comics based on descriptions spoken by the child. The preinstalled “Parent Dashboard” section lets parents limit screen time, monitor usage and set educational goals. Parents can require educational programs to be opened before entertainment apps. Settings can be changed remotely through iOS and Android apps. Each download from the “Google Play Store” can be approved individually.
The main lineup includes the “Alexa Tablet 8,” “Alexa Tablet 11” and “Alexa Tablet 12 Pro.” The “Alexa Tablet 12 Pro” is 6.5 mm thick. Its 12-inch display delivers smoother visuals thanks to a 120 Hz refresh rate. The model supports up to 16 hours of video playback. It also features Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and “Dolby Atmos” sound. The price starts at $499.99 (approximately 850 manat). The “Nanomatte” version, which reflects less light, will sell for $549.99 (approximately 930 manat). The “Pro Pen” stylus and “Pro Keyboard” will be released separately. The “Alexa+” assistant on the new tablets can answer questions based on information displayed on the screen and control smart home devices. When the “Kindle” app is opened, notifications are silenced and blue light is reduced. In this mode, battery life can reach 20 hours. All models will go on sale in the US, Canada and Mexico on October 14, 2026. Sales in Europe will begin on October 19. The “Amazon Kids Tablet” models will also be available in Japan starting October 14.
